Portland

A cosmopolitan jewel just as hip as Seattle, its sister to the north, Portland is famous for its enchanting rose gardens and its breathtaking Mt. Hood backdrop. Money Magazine rated Portland the "Best Big City." Plenty to do here for all ages, from strolling through nature sanctuaries at places like the Portland Classical Chinese Garden to enjoying fun for the whole family at the hands-on Portland Children’s Museum.
